Insider Get the
Buzz

West Palm Beach will be abuzz from October 2-4 for the Florida State Beekeepers Association’s Honeybee Conference, an annual gathering for beekeepers of all expertise. This is the first year the 94-year-old event will take place in the area, turning the Embassy Suites into a three-day hive of panel discussions, live bee demonstrations, a honey competition, exhibits and more. Like an ID card to an exclusive club, each honeybee colony has a distinct odor that members release to gain access into the hive. Want to feel like part of the colony? Turn the page for buzzworthy facts about the only insect that produces food for humans. (941-5040977, floridabeekeepers.org)
